Fro US money is the best way to donate for several reasons: 1. Immediate, 2. No shipping costs, 3. It is cheaper to buy these things in say India at a fractional cost (More bang for the money), 4. Needs change and the locals can adjust to the chang in needs, etc. You may donate monies to to Sarvodaya on this site, which I do not believe is registered as a charitable organization in USA. Alternatively, you may donate to the Sri Lankan Association in St. Louis (http:/www.stlsrilankan.org), which is registered as 501C3 nonprofit chariatable organization in USA.
ADMINS NOTE – As executive director of Sarvodaya USA I can most definitely confirm that the US organization is a 501c3 tax-exempt non profit organization. When one contributes to Sarvodaya USA through the PayPal connection on this website, the donation is tax deductible for U.S. citizens, and it all will be sent directly to Sarvodaya Headquarters.
